VALDOSTA - On Monday, Oct. 4, Valdosta State University kicked
off two separate fundraising campaigns - the 2008 Faculty/Staff
Campaign and the annual State Charitable Contributions
Program.

Duke Guthrie of communication arts and Coach David Dean, co-chairs
for the Faculty/Staff Campaign "Help Make VSU MORE," encourage all
members of the campus community to consider making a contribution.
VSU faculty and staff are already more creative, more caring and
more committed, and gifts of any amount can perpetuate the high
standards of excellence and give students more opportunities to
succeed.

This year's Faculty/Staff Giving Campaign will be conducted via
e-mail. Gifts can be made through payroll deduction, credit cards
or checks made payable to the VSU Foundation by printing the 2009
giving form at http://www.valdosta.edu/give/ .
Call the foundation at (229) 293-6258 for more information.

Faculty and staff are also encouraged to participate in a separate
fundraising campaign for the State Charitable Contributions
Program. Themed "Help Turn Lives Around - Give from the Heart," the
2009 SCCP allows state employees to make charitable financial
contributions to hundreds of different organizations and agencies.
VSU community members have until Nov. 30 to make a gift via cash,
check, money order or payroll deduction. E-mail this year's
campaign representatives, Yvonne Le Roy-Landers at ybleroylanders@valdosta.edu
and Deborah Robson at dcrobson@valdosta.edu , or visit
